Special Terminal Capabilities
=============================

   The following table describes all terminal capabilities that are
recognized by `screen' and are not in the termcap manual (Note:
Termcap.).  You can place these capabilities in your
termcap entries (in `/etc/termcap') or use them with the commands
`termcap', `terminfo' and `termcapinfo' in your `screenrc' files. It is
often not possible to place these capabilities in the terminfo database.
`LP'
     (bool)
     Terminal has VT100 style margins (`magic margins'). Note that this
     capability is obsolete -- `screen' now uses the standard `xn'
     instead.

`Z0'
     (str)
     Change width to 132 columns.

`Z1'
     (str)
     Change width to 80 columns.

`WS'
     (str)
     Resize display. This capability has the desired width and height as
     arguments.  SunView(tm) example: `\E[8;%d;%dt'.

`NF'
     (bool)
     Terminal doesn't need flow control. Send ^S and ^Q direct to the
     application. Same as `flow off'. The opposite of this capability
     is `nx'.

`G0'
     (bool)
     Terminal can deal with ISO 2022 font selection sequences.

`S0'
     (str)
     Switch charset `G0' to the specified charset. Default is `\E(%.'.

`E0'
     (str)
     Switch charset `G0' back to standard charset. Default is `\E(B'.

`C0'
     (str)
     Use the string as a conversion table for font 0. See the `ac'
     capability for more details.

`CS'
     (str)
     Switch cursor-keys to application mode.

`CE'
     (str)
     Switch cursor-keys to cursor mode.

`AN'
     (bool)
     Enable autonuke for displays of this terminal type.  (Note:
     Autonuke).

`OL'
     (num)
     Set the output buffer limit. See the `obuflimit' command (Note:
     Obuflimit) for more details.

`KJ'
     (str)
     Set the encoding of the terminal. See the `encoding' command
     (Note: Character Processing) for valid encodings.

`AF'
     (str)
     Change character foreground color in an ANSI conform way. This
     capability will almost always be set to `\E[3%dm' (`\E[3%p1%dm' on
     terminfo machines).

`AB'
     (str)
     Same as `AF', but change background color.

`AX'
     (bool)
     Does understand ANSI set default fg/bg color (`\E[39m / \E[49m').

`XC'
     (str)
     Describe a translation of characters to strings depending on the
     current font.  (Note: Character Translation).

`XT'
     (bool)
     Terminal understands special xterm sequences (OSC, mouse tracking).

`C8'
     (bool)
     Terminal needs bold to display high-intensity colors (e.g. Eterm).

`TF'
     (bool)
     Add missing capabilities to the termcap/info entry. (Set by
     default).
